Tasks

Hydrogen technologies (e.g. electrolyzers, gas tanks, fuel cells,) have become increasingly important in recent years.

However, optimal control of such systems comes with a challenge, as the explicit consideration of pressure and mass flow require non-linear models.

The goal of this thesis is to investigate and compare different modelling approaches, on the example of an H2-charging station, for use in a model predictive controller (MPC).

Objectives
- Investigation of different modelling approaches (linear, non-linear, integrator-model, physically-motivated,) for prediction of hydrogen production, demand and distribution
- Implementation of selected models for hydrogen technologies in Matlab/Python/Julia
- Implementation of an H2-charging station and evaluating the different modelling approaches for usability as MPC strategies
- OPTIONAL: Additional modelling of logistics/distribution constraints for the MPC

**Requirements**:

- Studies in digital, electrical, mechanical or information and computer engineering, etc.
- Basic knowledge of a programming language like MATLAB, Python or (ideally) Julia
- Basic knowledge of control engineering and optimization
- Study admission for an Austrian university, EU visa, residence permit

**Benefits**:

- Integration into a dedicated team with good support
- Flexible working arrangements
- Perspective of participation in follow-up projects after successful completion
- Financial compensation based on student staff salary scheme
- Remote work from home is possible
